How can I open a LinkedIn connection profile from my app?

Question

I want to open a LinkedIn connection profile in LinkedIn app from my Android app. I tried the following method but didn't successful in opening the profile.

DeepLinkHelper deepLinkHelper = DeepLinkHelper.getInstance();

 deepLinkHelper.openOtherProfile(activity, memberId, deeplinkListener);

I think the issue is with the memberId, the documentation says

memberId - obtained through an api call

I can't get the memberId for a connection through an api call because for that I have to apply for LinkedIn partnership program.

I want to open LinkedIn connection profile through an Id I obtained from connection profile URL ie

https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-486a0834

So there any way I can open connection profile using id mike-486a0834 ?

Answer 1

If you are using your own app, and you want to open up LinkedIn, then that is simple easy. Just use Intent class.

Answer 2

'String YourPageURL = "https://www.facebook.com/n/?YOUR_PAGE_NAME";
 Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(YourPageURL));

startActivity(browserIntent);'
